The Harry Gove Papers include three series: Activism; Career and Leisure Activities; and Publications and Clippings Collected by Gove. The first series, Activism (1965-1971), consists primarily of Friends of FIGHT and Metro-Act materials such as meeting minutes and information about initiatives. This series also includes Gove's own notes from his involvement. The second series, Career and Leisure Activities (1955-1971), includes a limited number of notes and tests from Gove's work as a professor at the University of Rochester as well as records of events at the University, some of which relate to activism. It also contains materials from Gove's leisure activities in Rochester, Canada, and abroad. The third series, Publications and Clippings Collected by Gove, consists largely of news clippings from the late 1960s and early 1970s, including those Gove assembled into two scrapbooks. A larger scrapbook includes news articles related to FIGHT and Metro-Act from 1969-1971. The pages of a smaller scrapbook include news articles on police action in Rochester during the summer of 1970.
